Marion Naccache

Marion Naccache lives and works between Paris and Rio de Janeiro. She studied contemporary poetry at École Normale Supérieure de Lyon. In 2008, she starts composing video essays that have been shown in several contemporary art institutions (Miami Basel, Southard Reid Gallery, London; Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers, Gulbenkian Foundation, Paris) and poetry venues (Chelsea Hotel, Festival PAN!, Nioques, OEI, Labia Gentil). CONEY ISLAND, (last summer), 2010, her first feature documentary film, has been presented in international film festivals (Miami, Entrevues Belfort, Rio de Janeiro). The film observes one summer, which was supposed to be the last one, of the amusement park and starts a series of movies about urban beaches which develop a contemplative form of observation based on time, distance and repetition to look at the world at a different pace. VENICE BEACH, CA., her second feature film, continues that dispositive and takes it further.
